What it does well
Reference images on Veo
Up to three images keep a face or a product the same across clips, something the Quality tier does not take.
Dialogue and sound included
Spoken lines, effects and ambience are generated with the picture, as on every Veo 3.1 tier.
Faster than Quality
Shorter waits make it practical to try several versions of a scene, then send only the best to Quality.
Settings and prices
Each video has a fixed price; the button always shows the exact total before you generate.
| Setting | Price | Example | Unlimited plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| 720p · 8s | 150 credits / video | 8-second clip = 150 credits | Free |
| 1080p · 8s | 165 credits / video | 8-second clip = 165 credits | Uses credits |
Prompt tips for better videos
One line of dialogue
Eight seconds fits one or two short sentences; more gets rushed.
References for identity
Use a clean front-facing photo for a person you need to recognise.
Move finals to Quality
When there is no reference image, rerun the prompt on Quality for the cleanest result or 4K.
Example prompt
A cyclist rides through a rainy neon street at night, puddles splashing under the wheels. Slow tracking shot from the side, 35mm, reflections on the wet asphalt. Sound: rain, tires on water, distant traffic.
